I work in a treatment facility in New York and I see the pain and sorrow every day. I have dedicated my life to helping and understanding what has led these tormented souls to this point. The key word is tormented, 93% of my patients have severe trauma that has pushed them to this point. The kindness and support you give to this community is probably the only kindness they have had in a very long time. God bless you and what you have accomplished in your life and the ability to help those in need. Much respect to you.
I get what you are saying but they aren't all tormented souls. A lot of them simply made a bad choice to take that first patch or pill or shot when they really should have known better. I suppose that after that yes, they eventually be one tormented souls ...
Bravo! Nese ,il tuo commento mi commuove! Sei una persona splendida,il tuo lavoro ti rende amabile. Dietro ad ogni male interiore, dietro ad ogni pazzia , dietro ad ogni drogato , c'è sempre un un dolore morale,un trauma, un dolore fisico.Ti auguro di stare in salute e sereno.Saluti dall'Italia.
Ok, this young man with the pants around his ankles broke my heart. I am honestly crying. Thank you for helping him and treating him with kindness and dignity. God bless both of you.
Frank that's my oldest brother. I'm a fan of your channel and been for a while, I just want to thank you for being who you are and trying to help him 🙏 anyone else would record and laugh. So thank you dude I'm going to go down there to try and find him today to make sure he's ok. Thanks again for being you❤💯
sorry you have to deal with this and hope he finds his way asap. he seemed like a smart and nice guy from the little interaction that i did have with him.
Scott, please show this vid to your brother. I’m sure he won’t recall any of these effects on his own. I pray he accepts your help and seeks sobriety. This is just upsetting, heartbreaking. The humanity, created in the image of GOD...heartbreaking...
Scott did you end up finding him? This breaks my heart. There is apparently a fee videos of him out there. He needs medical help. It seems to me he has been stuck this way for few days now.
Scott, I just saw this by chance. I'm always looking at vids & channels like this to see if anyone I know is out there & can be reached for help. This has me in tears as you know you all mean something to me. And that I care about yas. Have you found him yet? If I had wheels I'd be out there looking. 💔💔💔
A very wise person said something to me once that has stuck with me forever. He said, “Whatever you judge you become.” It’s the realist thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t judge. Wisdom, compassion, empathy & prayer is what’s necessary 🙏🏽✨
Wow frank ! This is damn sad and as a old block hustler , I am giving back through cutting hair for the homeless to help them in anyway possible to feel good about them selfs and give back for the evil that I have done not knowing any better ! Thanks for your work and trying to tell these stories for ppl who can’t help them selfs at the moment , god bless you my man ❤
The anguish on his face is heartbreaking. It's like he's trying to escape himself but he's stuck. May God deliver him from his demons and give him the strength to overcome this.
when u got no love , no money, no home, your depressed, no friends, no family, poverty, no food,, honesty what is left, not everyone can pull it together mate. when all is lost what do u do, get clean first of all,, yea right, good work frank this realy gets people thinking, Australia calling, i was picked up off the street my the salvation army, they saved my life, i am 100% Clean and have never looked back until i saw this video, this tripped me out,
Facts, well said, and no, not everyone can pull it together, but I believe that there is still hope for me and others like me, I struggle with the disease of addiction on a daily, I believe that getting clean is not the problem, for me it's staying clean #KevMac #STILLSTANDING #TeamJustMe
Hi from New Zealand. You are a kind decent man Frank. I live in a country where we have no tents, encampments or any sick people struggling to survive in the streets. The US needs more people like you. Wishing you all the best.
@@AudreyArequipa I lived in the US for 10 yrs where elderly, children, mentally sick & disabled people sleep in tents & cardboard boxes in alleyways. The main difference between the US & other countries is there is no free health/hospital/ mental health care. Unemployment payments are based on how long you were employed at your last job & they run out within months. Then you are on your own. In NZ we have unemployment/sickness/ ACC & single mothers benefits & state housing. People in NZ receive Gvnt payments weekly & indefinitely regardless if they have ever had a job. Addicts & the poor have options in NZ that are non-existent in the US.
USA politician's are far too busy seeking power and money to give a dam about people on the streets. They much prefer to take the monthly handouts from wealthy Jews to ensure Israel gets its 3.4 billion dollars annually. A foreign country in the middle east takes president over American citizens.
Frank, you just do your thing in helping these people. Don't worry about what anyone else does. This film is very impactful, dramatic, and extremely well-done. Your personality shows through and that is very interesting and poignant to the storyline. You should do more of these short films; you have your own unique talent and to many people you talking to the camera really adds immense interest and humanity and compassion to this film.
Frank I’ve lost a family member with drug addiction, I thank you for your care, your an amazing man , we never expected to go through the pain of losing a 40 year old kind and a beautiful soul, because of drugs. We judge none of them, but we pray for them. Your a kind and caring man , thank you from our hearts . X ❤️😪😢😪😢
I can almost feel his tension when I see the look on his face. I bet every inch of this man's body is sore and worn. Bless you Frank and what you do. The world needs more people like you.
The hardest thing I’ve ever done was being an opioid addict. 16 years ago, when prescription opioids were still cheaper, I would hustle all day, even while employed to support my habit. Worked hard to avoid the withdrawal, which was worse than the worst flu times a million. Quitting was 2nd hardest thing at that time, but has since become easier, being sober for 16 years. People say, “ why would anyone want to live like that” , for they have no clue, as people don’t choose this at this point, choice is made by ur addiction. These people are worth no less than a doctor, teacher, lawyer, parent, son, sister etc. way we deal with illness like this needs to change, instead of ignoring them like you don’t see the pain.
Couldn't have said this better. Thank you. I am coming up on 6yrs clean/sober & were living proof that WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM A HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE
How true your words are, thank you for being the type of person that does not judge these addicts. Your heart ❤️ is so kind . I lost a family member through addiction, it’s the most painful thing not being able to grieve even after 2 years x 💕💕💕💕💕💕
In Poland, when someone sees a man in such a state, he calls the ambulance or the police and she calls the doctor. With us, everyone has the right to medical care, hospital stay, surgery, rehabilitation. Every! And with you? I know that you are not for free. You can see that man cannot cope with reality. Nobody will take care of it with you. He will never come out of it. And you know it.
In america all they do is throw you in a jail cell by yourself. They won’t give any medical attention to him. He will be in a cell suffering all alone.
This video is a great teaching moment for kids. Show them this with compassion in your voice and how you talk about him so when they come across it in life and all their friends are pointing and laughing they are the ones that offer to help instead.
It’s ravaging Los Angeles streets as well. I’m in my 12th year of recovery. I felt his pain. I was smoking an upper and once up for 6 days. I finally took a shower and looked down and couldn’t understand why the water was black. I was filthy and I had an apartment and managed to keep my steady job. Thanks Frank. My best friend died on 11/25/21. He slammed speed and was homeless. He was only 44. I left him around 2012 due to myself getting sober. As you know, your simple intervention of caring and understanding goes a long way. Most people don’t understand if they haven’t been there and are scared or just feel they can’t do anything. Finally, again you and I know a quick intervention could be lifesaving. You just never know. I completely understand your efforts and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately what we had to go through makes us perfect to do outreach. We’ve been there. Done that. And we realize that one small minute of time may spark hope when we approach to intercede in some way, shape or form. Peace and Blessings always to you.🙏
I know it's probably the Norm to alot of people out there, but it's so sad to see so many people walk/ drive past this guy all looking at him but not one person stopped to check on him apart from Frank! Thank you for all you do for these people, keep up the good work you do.
My coworker told me how his grandmother tripped and fell in NY she couldn’t get up she was on the ground for 45 minutes until someone stopped to help. A apathetic society is a pathetic society. To make a difference one must be the difference.
I was thinking the same, unfortunately people have learned to pretend he’s not there, I’m guessing most don’t like to get stared at and passers by are in fear of getting attacked or cussed at ,, that’s the saddest part of it all he’s struggling for 30 mins and his hands and limbs won’t do what his mind wants to do ,, and they walk right past him
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND BORN & RAISED THESE NEW AGE DRUGS R HITTING OUR CITY STREETS HARD ALSO! I SAY NEW AGE BECAUSE THE DRUGS TODAY R A MIXTURE OF PILLS, FENTYNOL, METH, NO HEROIN & THE DRUG DEALER'S DON'T KNOW HOW TO MIX THEM RIGHT OR SIMPLY DONT CARE, THE STRONGER THE BATCH, THE MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS TRUTH B TOLD. I CANT TELL U HOW MANY FRIENDS & FAMILY THAT I HAVE LOST OVER THE YEARS AND STILL KNOWING THAT COULDNT EVEN STOP ME FROM USING....HUBBY & ME BEEN CLEAN SINCE MARCH 21, 2021 STILL ON THE METHADONE PROGRAM. I RIDE BY & SEE PEOPLE FIGHTING THERE OWN BODIES, ROLLING AROUND ON THE DIRTY SIDEWALK, AND I JUST THANK GOD THAT IM NOT WHERE THEY R TODAY THROUGH GODS DIVINE GRACE...WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S HELP ME STAY STRAIGHT WHEN I SEE HOW FAR I CAME SO I THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT ALL AND KEEPING IT REAL! NEW SUB. BTW
USA gives Israel, a foreign country 3.4 billion dollars of American tax payer money every year. And in addition some billions more annually of state of the art military weapons to enable Israel to subjugate and murder thousands of innocent Palestinians. Just think if we were to channel that money in to our healthcare, mental care, drug addiction. Sounds proper but greedy blackmailed Congressmen don't do propper when they're making fortunes and staying high on the political spectrum.
I was sent videos of my dad like this. I lost him June 17th, 2020, a week before fathers day. Thank you for showing unapologetic compassion, respect and dignity for these people. I'm in Canada, unfortunately the town I live in struggles heavily with opiates and fetty as well. All I can say is thank you for reminding them there are good people out there.
Frank. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do. I have 4 months sober. I'm on saboxone maintenance and it helps a lot. The last time I was down Kensington I passed out and some people took all my clothes off. I passing motorist stopped and put his clothes on me. I haven't been down there since. Thank you.
Frank. Thanks for bringing awareness to the Fentanyl problem,my son od on Fentanyl in 2017 at the start of free Narcan, but he didn't get his yet and Sur come to the F. From Detroit. Everything is tainted here. My son had coke and Fentanyl in him. It's really sad to see other people's kids in active addiction like this. I cry & pray. Bless your heart for all you do. Thank you💜
💔 thank you for giving these ppl a voice. I also had a family member die homeless and drug addicted on the streets. Drugs stole home from us, he was a bright kid, college educated, and got trapped in his own hell on skid row. Breaks my heart to see how many of these people are treated/ignored. Every single one of them is loved/cherished by someone. If only love could cure an addict..: Thanks Frank & family for showing these lost souls that people still do care. ❤️
Thanks! After watching this video I see this as a metaphor for life; You helped him pull his pants back up but because there was no button at the top they fell down again around his ankles and once again he was stuck unable to successfully maneuver. The key to me is to treat everyone as human beings with compassion and caring but if the system is broken people will remain stuck.
Frank thank you for being out there and bringing awareness and opening up one mind. My g-son turned me on to your channel. I watched many but for some reason this one hit me bad. I can not believe this here in the UNITED STATES. B4 he got locked up he would show me and I thought this was in another country. I AM in recovery worked with many alcoholic addicts yet I have not experienced or seen any body like this in real life till this last summer a few and there were on the streets. I even got scared cause I thought some thing was wrong with them or they would fall and hurt themselves. I Pray for the people. We have no right to judge any body or talk them down you never know when this type situation can hit home or some one you love. My g-son said maybe when he gets out that he could possibly work with the young ones doing some thing like Frank does he says to me. I pray for him to change he has a good heart and I believe god has a plan for him and what you do I’m sure you are in the minds of other like my g-son to help other’s and for other’s to see the reality and try to understand and comprehend the reality of this type of life. Thank you God bless you keep you safe and your family. Milwaukee Wisconsin
She says, "maybe God did that so he couldn't run and hurt himself." That sounds right on. Such awesome work, Frank. It's a bottomless problem, isn't it. Good bless you both 🙏💯
I worked in the center of Boston and had never seen a person who had taken these drugs. A woman walked passed me, dropped her purse, and kept walking. She then bent over with her arms dangling and didn’t move. I had absolutely no idea what was wrong with her. I called 911 and said that someone just fell unconscious. The ambulance came. The EMTs saw what the issue was and laughed. I asked them “What’s so funny?” And told them to help her. They just didn’t care and said that they see it all the time and that if I’m working there I should get used to it. Say what?!?! They didn’t even check her out. They got back in the ambulance and drove off. I picked up her purse and guided her to a soft spot in the grass. I sat with her a couple of hours until she could get up and be steady in her feet. This video breaks my heart. I’m here because a friend’s son is missing and she thinks he’s in Kensington. About a year ago my nephew went missing and he was found in Kensington. I have no answers. But I know that we can do better. The fact is that every person in that community just walks by this tortured soul as if it’s normal. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! There is so much very wrong with this. Thank you for your kindness and the creation of this video. I hope it will inspire someone to make some needed changes.
I learned that all the times i have said "i am having a bad day",i really wasnt... Prayers for this man,i hope he one day can look back at this montage as a reminder of how bad he HAD it!
So sad 😞 I don’t understand how the drug dealers selling the garbage that has this young man tormented like that, I don’t know how they’re able look at themselves in the mirror. There doing the Devils work, destroying lives👿 Your heart is in the right place, Phily’s lucky to have you, keep doing wat ur doing bro, God Bless you & may he keep his angels around you to protect you😇
And through all of this. How are you doing Frank? Are you Okay? I can see the stress and concern in your face brother. Keeping you in my prayers at all times. Keep doing gods work bro.
They stretch Heroin with Fetanyl, the same thing people get in the USA for death sentence. it is doing this damage. In Hippie times so many took drugs, the Beatles even. This is murder. the Fetanyl is cheaper than Heroin so they stretch it to earn more money.
So heartbreaking and he is handsome! I started to cry when I heard Rachel say maybe it is happening cause God wants it to happen so he won’t run. Thank you for being an angel on earth Frank.
Me da mucha tristeza ver a esta persona en este estado tan deprimente,ya que no parece ser un hijo de la calle,ojalá hubiesen más personas como usted, para ayudar un poco más 😔
This breaks my heart. I’m grateful you helped him and share the realities of trauma and addictions. He will be in my prayers and I hope he finds peace and healing. It reminds me of where I once once. I’m 13.5 years clean and sober and I will always continue to advocate for and help anyone I can. You are a beautiful soul ❤️
I work for an organization that provides support for homeless veterans and I see what heroin and morphine abuse does to these veterans on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what life must be like for these poor people who call Kensington home. You have a brilliant channel here. Keep up the good work. One of these days the worm will turn!
I see your kindness and you caring for the vulnerable Frank. I know your mother is so proud of you for who you have become. if this was my child my heart would crumble to the floor. My brother is known as the gentle giant that can stand up for himself as well. Frank you are now the second gentle Giant in my life. We need more gentle Giants in this world. The care that shows in your eyes for other people who are not able to take care of themselves is a wonderful thing. Jesus please help all of us who are vulnerable weak and in pain, whether it's physical or mental. I believe some people out here have chronic pain and their doctors didn't care enough about them so they're stuck doing whatever they can to numb their physical pain. Some made wrong choices because of emotional pain and now they have both emotional and physical pain. I hope this handsome man gets the help he needs. This world is a horrible place to be, especially if you're alone. God bless us all 🙏❤
Such a beautiful young man u tried to help with his pants, I'm a grandmother with sons too , I am Blessed by them ,never causing me problems and good sons ..I see this and think ? this baby belongs to someone somewhere to someone ... crying and prayed for him
De todos los vídeos de Philadelphia este me partió 💔 😢, tan joven este muchacho, simpático pudiendo lograr todo ... la vida lo hecho a su suerte y la mentablemente lo puso con las personas equivocadas, dios lo bendiga 🙏🏻 🙌
Frank can I ask you when did this video take place? This is a good friend of mine over a decade. This is so heartbreaking. This brought tears to my eyes. I am so worried about him. This is not the only video of him like this. So it seems to me he has been stuck like this for days. I think he truly needs medical attention. The crazy thing is he was clean and just relapsed so I'm thinking that because of this is why he is getting the reaction he got. I do not want him to die down there. Can you please tell me when did this take place. I would like to see if I can find him so I can possibly get him out of there and to get some help. He needs the help I never seen him like this before. It literally looks like he is stuck in a trip amd has been in this trip for few days now. Please respond to me.
Amy did you see the comment above from Scott, the guys brother? You could maybe get together & give eachother strength to intervene & it shows strength in togetherness to your friend.
I live in Trenton NJ and i have been clean from heroin for over 6 years now... I gave all mind altering drugs and alcohol up as of jan 23rd 2016... I know it will be a fight that ill have to face for the rest of my life... But its one fight worth fighting... I take it one day at a time... You never know what your future holds... All i can do is try my best to be the best me... I pray for anyone who is fighting addiction... We can and we do recover... Thankyou for sharing this video 🙏🙏🙏
Ur girl is such an angel. Its like here goes frank again to help. Poor Rachel prolly cant go to the corner store without stoppin a few times to help. You guys are true helpers and angels thank you..much love from Harrisburg
really really sad. this young guy was someone very precious baby once upon a time. good looking young guy. and now he's on the road. i will say a prayer for him. thanks bro for reaching out to him and trying to help. him. take care.
@@katarzynak118 Tak oglądam. I pokazuję moim synom, bo oni wciąż że Ameryka że tam tak super. Wcale nie jest tak jak myślą. Amerykanie zawsze mówią że u nich wszystko największe najładniejsze, najlepsze. A mają taki " syf" o tym się nie mówi.
@@joannakubicka4495 moze i tak byc, ze najwieksze. Ale to rowniez wlacza najwieksze problemy i uzaleznienia. Ja tez mojemu synowi pokazalam kilka filmow. Juz nie chce do Ameryki. Ale niech ktos to bagno ratuje. Ten czlowiek, ktory robi to video ma do tego powolanie. I chwala Bogu, ze sa tacy, jesli nie ma systemowego rozwiazania problemu. Sciskam Pania bardzo mocno,
Amen Brother. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I feel your calls for Unity and Love. I am You, You are Me, We are One❤️ Please keep doing what you are doin, just the way you do The only way to dispell the darkness is to bring forth the light ✌️
I watched this the day Frank did it an I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I have told lots of people mostly clinicians in methadone programs to watch this on TH-cam morals of the money, bad day in Kensington for learning purposes. I got phone calls back within hours of how much this can help other patience. To the man that is in this video ( Brother I love you an you are loved by many many people whether you know it or not.I wish you nothing but happiness,love an caring in your life.) I had used for about 11 years and it was ugly for the last 3.The very first time I was handed a bag of Fentanyl was the last day of using!!! Why some of you might ask? I knew in my heart that I would die because of that shit.That was 2015. I hope anyone who is on Heroin or Fentanyl that they find the will to stop using before they pass away from this awful shit. Take care all, Kevin
💜💜💜Good to see you trying to help this man. One of my brothers died under a bridge in CA and the other is a homeless drug addict in Phoenix. I would like to think someone would show them kindness once in a while.
Thank goodness there's people like you and team to help these people and explain what they're going through very sad so true never judge never and respect others .
Some much respect to you guys here at Morals over money! Just getting these stories out in the public is huge, yet you go so far beyond that to help these people. I wish you guys the best in your future endeavors with channel & any other harm reduction work you may do!
My heart hurts watching this poor guy and people walking past, totally ignoring him, not even a look of compassion on their faces, Thank you Frank for caring. On a completely different not, I am requesting prayers for my friend Jean's 18yr old son, who has just been diagnosed with a massive brain tumour. We don't yet know if it is operable or treatable and his devastated momma is not allowed to be with him in the hospital because of covid restrictions. I would be eternally grateful for prayers from anyone who prays. Thank you so much.
Please Jesus watch over jeans eighteen-year-old son during this difficult time. Please Jesus heal this young man and make him better. Please Jesus watch over Jean during this difficult time. I pray for healing, a miracle of some sort. In Jesus's name amen 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
@@trayjosass Thank you Tracey, he has just undergone his 4th surgery 2 days ago to remove as much tumor as possible. Unfortunately, it is wrapped around his brain stem and cannot be fully removed surgically. He will have to have Chemotherapy and Radium treatment which will have many adverse effects on his body, so continued prayers are greatly appreciated.
Автор очень добрый, солнечный человек. Невероятная теплота идет от вас, даже через экран телефона . Желаю вам здоровья и человеческого счастья. А этого парня жаль конечно, не пихал бы себе в рот всякую гадость, не валялся бы на асфальте, просто полное безумие.
I'm so thankful for people like you Frank. Truly a blessing. And luckily there wasn't any other people out there. Someone would have tried to beat him up just for having his pants down. Not knowing that he couldn't get them up without help.
God bless you Frank. I'm a mother of a 45 year old drug addicted son, living on the streets of Perth Western Australia. Did everything to try and help him. Naltrexone etc . You are an angel on earth and I can only hope my son meets someone that treats him with your level of respect and dignity. 💕
Frank I just want to say thank you to all that you do every day. For all that you make light of and not a way as to harm or be little those on the bottom. I also struggled with addiction for for multiple decades have my kids taken still wasn't enough it takes for people dying around you sometimes that isn't enough it was enough for me. I had had enough!!!! And I just want to say I hope God blesses you and everything you hold thee to you just for the things that you do everyday by helping people and making light of this other Pandemic we have called addiction!!! After watching this video it honestly makes me wanna go out and do the same thing you do I wish I had the means the means to help as much as you do. However walking down the road if I saw that man I'd probably asked him if I could have helped him the same way you did when I tried again the same way you did and I think by letting him know you understood his pain and that you've been there is what finally allowed in the allowed You to help him. I again just want to thank you for what you do everyday Do you have one great question now the state destiny was in is there not ambulances that would show up to pick people up that we're in this condition I mean just Hi I get it they don't bother buthey don't bother but in the condition that hes in I see it a lot in your videos honestly and it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of emergency intervention going on. Don't think people realize that this actually goes on in America where there is actually an open air market and that the cops do not give a fuck they can't be bothered. That's why I think it takes over so much it looks so bad. But he is in clear need of medical attention is medical attention before he hurts himself or gets hit by a car If there's any way you could kind of post an update if you end up getting one I know that's here today gone tomorrow you may never see this man ever again but but if you do end up trying to post an update greatly appreciated and again thank you king frank for everything you do everyday. Amor de rey!
Preach Brother, thank you for being one of the Very FEW Real Stand Up Grown Men that spread Positivity and Care, Kindness (but not ever as a weakness). And like you said hopefully help people to better deal with and interact with others etc
Frank ur a Guardian Angel to the Kensington community. I couldn't do what you do. Keep doing you! You have a big heart. God bless you and your family with good health and well being in. You had a rough life. Thank God ur past all the sorrow events in ur life. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Ur the best big guy. I'm proud of you. Amen
Hi Frank, Unfortunately, I'm seeing this video a year late. My name is Rob and I have a genetic catastrophic disease for there is no cure. With that being said, the things I see going on in the world today in a strange way makes me ok with my time being limited. But then I see this video and after I basically lose any faith I have ever had in humanity., there is you! You are an amazing person and seeing what you do makes me realize how special life really is and how we should all fight for it and help each other! You have my utmost respect and love brother.! Please be safe out there.
My goodness gracious, this has to be one of the most agonizing videos I’ve seen in a while!!! I don’t know what that man took, but it had to be a combo of drugs all in one. It’s bazaar because I was getting frustrated with him and so saddened for him at the same time just watching this video, in the comforts of my home, knowing that I’ve lived there at one time for quite a few years. It was nothing like it is now, and it was pretty bad, but not this bad. Thank you Frank for sharing your videos because anyone who is thinking about taking a ride to this “Walmart “ open aired drug market, will think twice. God bless you and your family always! Keep up the good work Frank!!
You're such a good man and you have an amazing woman by your side 💪🏾 I love how Rachel supports you in everything you do!!! Y'all are an amazing TEAM!!!!!! Don't ever change 🙏
I can not understand how people can Drive by without even triing to help this guy-I´m PROUD of you Brother .DONT EVER GIVE UP::People need you out there..i feel so bad and angry inside
You are a very beautiful man…. Inside and out. You show this in every video… in all that you do. Thank you for being so compassionate and showing such empathy. xx
Thank you for helping this young man. All the people passing by because this is the norm for them. It's sad. He looked cold. It really looked like he got ahold of flakka or wet. I hope he finds help. #wedorecover
Absolute sadness. I went through many rough times years ago never did I have to worry about what these people worry about today. I’m just speechless and you my friend are an absolute saint.
Frank, I'm a recovering addict (8 years now) and I REALLLY want to get into helping people or even working in a treatment center. My line of work right now is just not for me and it's killing me mentally. I KNOW that helping fellow addicts is my calling. If you can refer me to any type of ways to get into this, please reply. I live in Cambria County PA...
Damn bro this shit hits home cuz my Uncle was out in kenzo a while back b4 he moved up to warren. Its sad. People are so quick to judge addicts and assume that they chose to do h when its not the case whatsoever. Most of these people started due to painkillers or trauma. These people arent addicted by choice. They just fell in too deep and need help getting back up. Thank you for bringing attention to this shit man. God bless you brother.
Frank you are one amazing man. You have such wisdom and a great soul. Your videos should be shown to the world . The city does nothing nor is it ever mentioned. It is sad that this mayor just ignores it. They should put this video on the Philly news or make you mayor.
Frank you and Rachel are angels sent by God to do his work. The fact that you look forward when so many look away is definitely God working through you. You both had to fight the demons so you now know what to look for. That so many wonderful people are fighting and losing their battles makes my heart ache. I’m so thankful for the two of you and your compassion. ❤
Amazing job Man, this video just came across randomly.. I’ve liked and subscribed Your compassion is the best thing I’ve encountered all week. And I have a loving family a home, but I needed to see this🙏🏽❤️ I’ve been home for over a year, waiting on a hip replacement(🤬🤬Rona related slow downs for surgery). I’m super careful with my pain meds ( only 1 out of the 4 I’m daily prescribed today and it’s 6 pm) but that not because I’m special, I’ve worked with addicts for 20yrs so I just move with an abundance of caution. Being off work for over has been hard I love the work I do. Love kids n husband but it’s not the same. I believe you can understand that , they way you cared at that man… the humanity you showed it’s the saddest most rewarding thing I’ve ever experienced. Stay safe and Blessed 🙏🏽❤️❤️
@@MORALSOVERMONEY1 Frank I’m definitely going be one of regulars. Your content is so REAL, heartbreaking, inspirational, compassionate…. I’ve been clean since ‘99 And was never on opioids, I can’t fathom the depths of that kind of addiction from a personal level. God Bless everyone struggling 🙏🏽 Good luck to you and your growing family🙏🏽❤️
Hi Frank! As I scour youtube and Fig St in LA, I realize that what you are doing serves multiple purposes. People who make films like this are actually helping us find missing people, and we thank you so very much. Also, I am old - what drug does this to people? It's not like the 60s or like anything else I've seen.
Fentanyl is a highly addictive drug that is deadly in minute amounts. China supplies a LOT of Fentanyl to Mexico. Then, it is laced into Cocain, heroin, and even weed. Even scarier is the fake prescription drugs. Fentanyl powder is pressed into looking like oxycodone, morphine, & other opiates. They coat it with aspirin sometimes to make it look authentic. There is enough Fentanyl now on the U.S. side of the border to kill every American 5 times over. One Pill can kill. In 2022, almost 9 times as many people died of Fentanyl overdose than died of Covid. Most of them between the ages of 15-35, and it was just a young person, expiramenting with 1 pill they "thought" was something else. THIS epidemic should be a National emergency & on every news channel with a death toll ticker to raise awareness, but it is not. I hope this helps. 👍
@@stormy439 No, it really isn't. If that were true they would not have treated me in hospital with fentanyl and morphine and vicadin. Fentanyl is about equivalent with morphine, not stronger than that. As k people who have actually been prescribed the dug.
That's really sad. I live in south jersey and didn't realize it was that bad till your channel. Salem county is bad that's why we moved away but this is a whole new reality. Praying for all going through this 🙏🙏🙏. I wish there was more help out there. Sad I wish more people would want to get help. I hope people see this and see what can happen.
Man, this is an amazing image of the Gospel and God's desire to engage with and help us. Much of us refuse the same way as this young man. God bless you frank.
Thank you for not judging. My scholar athlete only daughter who had the best of everything died from a fentanyl overdose. Drugs do not discriminate. I want to do something more than tell my daughter's story.
Your videos makes me feel really happy about my self now because I have 9 years clean and I just can see I'm not missing nothing good, so bro thinks and I hope God make a better way for all. God bless you.
In the year 2022,a good friend of mine, nephew who s birthday was August 14,2022..was given a gift of drugs to him on his birthday by his own mother, instead of celebrating his birthday on his special day, they were celebrating his life, his name was/ is Drake Duve of Wyandotte mi 😢
I work in a treatment facility in New York and I see the pain and sorrow every day. I have dedicated my life to helping and understanding what has led these tormented souls to this point. The key word is tormented, 93% of my patients have severe trauma that has pushed them to this point. The kindness and support you give to this community is probably the only kindness they have had in a very long time. God bless you and what you have accomplished in your life and the ability to help those in need. Much respect to you.
I feel driven to do the same. I'm 5 years sober this April. I walked away from drugs with a bigger heart and an understanding.
I get what you are saying but they aren't all tormented souls.
A lot of them simply made a bad choice to take that first patch or pill or shot when they really should have known better.
I suppose that after that yes, they eventually be one tormented souls ...
God Bless you for doing your part as well...
Thanks for being you ! We need more dedicated people like you ! Goodness & mercy will follow you all the days of your life!!
Bravo! Nese ,il tuo commento mi commuove! Sei una persona splendida,il tuo lavoro ti rende amabile. Dietro ad ogni male interiore, dietro ad ogni pazzia , dietro ad ogni drogato , c'è sempre un un dolore morale,un trauma, un dolore fisico.Ti auguro di stare in salute e sereno.Saluti dall'Italia.
Ok, this young man with the pants around his ankles broke my heart. I am honestly crying. Thank you for helping him and treating him with kindness and dignity. God bless both of you.
Frank that's my oldest brother. I'm a fan of your channel and been for a while, I just want to thank you for being who you are and trying to help him 🙏 anyone else would record and laugh. So thank you dude I'm going to go down there to try and find him today to make sure he's ok. Thanks again for being you❤💯
sorry you have to deal with this and hope he finds his way asap. he seemed like a smart and nice guy from the little interaction that i did have with him.
Scott, your brother will be in my prayers!! I hope he can get off of this poison and feel your love for him!! God Bless you!!
Scott, please show this vid to your brother. I’m sure he won’t recall any of these effects on his own. I pray he accepts your help and seeks sobriety. This is just upsetting, heartbreaking. The humanity, created in the image of GOD...heartbreaking...
Scott did you end up finding him? This breaks my heart. There is apparently a fee videos of him out there. He needs medical help. It seems to me he has been stuck this way for few days now.
Scott, I just saw this by chance. I'm always looking at vids & channels like this to see if anyone I know is out there & can be reached for help. This has me in tears as you know you all mean something to me. And that I care about yas. Have you found him yet? If I had wheels I'd be out there looking. 💔💔💔
Doesn't cost nothing to show a bit of human kindness. Just one man - who's been there - to another. More power to you Frank.
A very wise person said something to me once that has stuck with me forever. He said, “Whatever you judge you become.” It’s the realist thing I’ve ever heard. Don’t judge. Wisdom, compassion, empathy & prayer is what’s necessary 🙏🏽✨
This is so true. Well said my friend.
@@fairylovr33 ❤️
Damn thats some 🔥right there
VERY true words and I'll never forget them myself 👍🏻 words to live by
@@CoralineJonesPinkPalace ✨✨✨
Wow frank ! This is damn sad and as a old block hustler , I am giving back through cutting hair for the homeless to help them in anyway possible to feel good about them selfs and give back for the evil that I have done not knowing any better ! Thanks for your work and trying to tell these stories for ppl who can’t help them selfs at the moment , god bless you my man ❤
The anguish on his face is heartbreaking. It's like he's trying to escape himself but he's stuck. May God deliver him from his demons and give him the strength to overcome this.
Amenn🙌👐
Amen
Amen.
Like a tortous which has toppled on is back, he needed that kind intervention.
Amén
when u got no love , no money, no home, your depressed, no friends, no family, poverty, no food,, honesty what is left, not everyone can pull it together mate. when all is lost what do u do, get clean first of all,, yea right, good work frank this realy gets people thinking, Australia calling, i was picked up off the street my the salvation army, they saved my life, i am 100% Clean and have never looked back until i saw this video, this tripped me out,
Facts, well said, and no, not everyone can pull it together, but I believe that there is still hope for me and others like me, I struggle with the disease of addiction on a daily, I believe that getting clean is not the problem, for me it's staying clean

Good for you mate! I hope things are much better for you now. Best wishes from South Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Hi from New Zealand. You are a kind decent man Frank. I live in a country where we have no tents, encampments or any sick people struggling to survive in the streets. The US needs more people like you. Wishing you all the best.
I have to disagree. Ive seen this a good bit in Auckland.
Ive Seen some Bad stuff in Auckland...
@@AudreyArequipa I lived in the US for 10 yrs where elderly, children, mentally sick & disabled people sleep in tents & cardboard boxes in alleyways. The main difference between the US & other countries is there is no free health/hospital/ mental health care. Unemployment payments are based on how long you were employed at your last job & they run out within months. Then you are on your own. In NZ we have unemployment/sickness/ ACC & single mothers benefits & state housing. People in NZ receive Gvnt payments weekly & indefinitely regardless if they have ever had a job. Addicts & the poor have options in NZ that are non-existent in the US.
USA politician's are far too busy seeking power and money to give a dam about people on the streets. They much prefer to take the monthly handouts from wealthy Jews to ensure Israel gets its 3.4 billion dollars annually. A foreign country in the middle east takes president over American citizens.
@@madamelebuffWho pays for that?
Frank, you just do your thing in helping these people. Don't worry about what anyone else does. This film is very impactful, dramatic, and extremely well-done. Your personality shows through and that is very interesting and poignant to the storyline. You should do more of these short films; you have your own unique talent and to many people you talking to the camera really adds immense interest and humanity and compassion to this film.
Frank I’ve lost a family member with drug addiction, I thank you for your care, your an amazing man , we never expected to go through the pain of losing a 40 year old kind and a beautiful soul, because of drugs. We judge none of them, but we pray for them. Your a kind and caring man , thank you from our hearts . X ❤️😪😢😪😢
I can almost feel his tension when I see the look on his face. I bet every inch of this man's body is sore and worn. Bless you Frank and what you do. The world needs more people like you.
The hardest thing I’ve ever done was being an opioid addict. 16 years ago, when prescription opioids were still cheaper, I would hustle all day, even while employed to support my habit. Worked hard to avoid the withdrawal, which was worse than the worst flu times a million. Quitting was 2nd hardest thing at that time, but has since become easier, being sober for 16 years. People say, “ why would anyone want to live like that” , for they have no clue, as people don’t choose this at this point, choice is made by ur addiction. These people are worth no less than a doctor, teacher, lawyer, parent, son, sister etc. way we deal with illness like this needs to change, instead of ignoring them like you don’t see the pain.
Couldn't have said this better. Thank you. I am coming up on 6yrs clean/sober & were living proof that WE CAN & DO RECOVER FROM A HOPELESS SLOW SUICIDE
How true your words are, thank you for being the type of person that does not judge these addicts. Your heart ❤️ is so kind . I lost a family member through addiction, it’s the most painful thing not being able to grieve even after 2 years x 💕💕💕💕💕💕
How sad to watch
Such haunting music, anyone know what it is ?
@@heatherduchene8779 I think its melancholia by GodMode. It is very haunting. Perfect for this
Im an ex addict and from across the pond and I salute you for your compassion and your sense of humanity.
In Poland, when someone sees a man in such a state, he calls the ambulance or the police and she calls the doctor. With us, everyone has the right to medical care, hospital stay, surgery, rehabilitation. Every! And with you? I know that you are not for free. You can see that man cannot cope with reality. Nobody will take care of it with you. He will never come out of it. And you know it.
We are screwed in America
Agreed in Canada we would call for help as well🤔
@@stuff1784 it's very sad
In america all they do is throw you in a jail cell by yourself. They won’t give any medical attention to him. He will be in a cell suffering all alone.
I from Poland too....America is not cool ! American dream...
This video is a great teaching moment for kids. Show them this with compassion in your voice and how you talk about him so when they come across it in life and all their friends are pointing and laughing they are the ones that offer to help instead.
It’s like a dance of despair
Beautifully said.
So true. It’s a miserable feeling. Hate to see it.
Well said.
I think your a lovely man
It’s ravaging Los Angeles streets as well. I’m in my 12th year of recovery. I felt his pain. I was smoking an upper and once up for 6 days. I finally took a shower and looked down and couldn’t understand why the water was black. I was filthy and I had an apartment and managed to keep my steady job. Thanks Frank. My best friend died on 11/25/21. He slammed speed and was homeless. He was only 44. I left him around 2012 due to myself getting sober. As you know, your simple intervention of caring and understanding goes a long way. Most people don’t understand if they haven’t been there and are scared or just feel they can’t do anything. Finally, again you and I know a quick intervention could be lifesaving. You just never know. I completely understand your efforts and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately what we had to go through makes us perfect to do outreach. We’ve been there. Done that. And we realize that one small minute of time may spark hope when we approach to intercede in some way, shape or form. Peace and Blessings always to you.🙏
I know it's probably the Norm to alot of people out there, but it's so sad to see so many people walk/ drive past this guy all looking at him but not one person stopped to check on him apart from Frank! Thank you for all you do for these people, keep up the good work you do.
My coworker told me how his grandmother tripped and fell in NY she couldn’t get up she was on the ground for 45 minutes until someone stopped to help. A apathetic society is a pathetic society.
To make a difference one must be the difference.
I was thinking the same, unfortunately people have learned to pretend he’s not there, I’m guessing most don’t like to get stared at and passers by are in fear of getting attacked or cussed at ,, that’s the saddest part of it all he’s struggling for 30 mins and his hands and limbs won’t do what his mind wants to do ,, and they walk right past him
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND BORN & RAISED THESE NEW AGE DRUGS R HITTING OUR CITY STREETS HARD ALSO! I SAY NEW AGE BECAUSE THE DRUGS TODAY R A MIXTURE OF PILLS, FENTYNOL, METH, NO HEROIN & THE DRUG DEALER'S DON'T KNOW HOW TO MIX THEM RIGHT OR SIMPLY DONT CARE, THE STRONGER THE BATCH, THE MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS TRUTH B TOLD. I CANT TELL U HOW MANY FRIENDS & FAMILY THAT I HAVE LOST OVER THE YEARS AND STILL KNOWING THAT COULDNT EVEN STOP ME FROM USING....HUBBY & ME BEEN CLEAN SINCE MARCH 21, 2021 STILL ON THE METHADONE PROGRAM. I RIDE BY & SEE PEOPLE FIGHTING THERE OWN BODIES, ROLLING AROUND ON THE DIRTY SIDEWALK, AND I JUST THANK GOD THAT IM NOT WHERE THEY R TODAY THROUGH GODS DIVINE GRACE...WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S HELP ME STAY STRAIGHT WHEN I SEE HOW FAR I CAME SO I THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT ALL AND KEEPING IT REAL! NEW SUB. BTW
USA gives Israel, a foreign country 3.4 billion dollars of American tax payer money every year. And in addition some billions more annually of state of the art military weapons to enable Israel to subjugate and murder thousands of innocent Palestinians. Just think if we were to channel that money in to our healthcare, mental care, drug addiction. Sounds proper but greedy blackmailed Congressmen don't do propper when they're making fortunes and staying high on the political spectrum.
I would be terrified to stop.
I was sent videos of my dad like this. I lost him June 17th, 2020, a week before fathers day. Thank you for showing unapologetic compassion, respect and dignity for these people. I'm in Canada, unfortunately the town I live in struggles heavily with opiates and fetty as well. All I can say is thank you for reminding them there are good people out there.
This is why I continuously pray for everyone. AMEN !!! Philadelphia USA
Frank. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do. I have 4 months sober. I'm on saboxone maintenance and it helps a lot. The last time I was down Kensington I passed out and some people took all my clothes off. I passing motorist stopped and put his clothes on me. I haven't been down there since. Thank you.
This is absolutely heartbreaking!!
Frank. Thanks for bringing awareness to the Fentanyl problem,my son od on Fentanyl in 2017 at the start of free Narcan, but he didn't get his yet and Sur come to the F. From Detroit. Everything is tainted here. My son had coke and Fentanyl in him. It's really sad to see other people's kids in active addiction like this. I cry & pray. Bless your heart for all you do. Thank you💜
💔 thank you for giving these ppl a voice. I also had a family member die homeless and drug addicted on the streets. Drugs stole home from us, he was a bright kid, college educated, and got trapped in his own hell on skid row. Breaks my heart to see how many of these people are treated/ignored. Every single one of them is loved/cherished by someone. If only love could cure an addict..: Thanks Frank & family for showing these lost souls that people still do care. ❤️
Another kind and loving person , thanks Anita ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks! After watching this video I see this as a metaphor for life; You helped him pull his pants back up but because there was no button at the top they fell down again around his ankles and once again he was stuck unable to successfully maneuver. The key to me is to treat everyone as human beings with compassion and caring but if the system is broken people will remain stuck.
Frank thank you for being out there and bringing awareness and opening up one mind. My g-son turned me on to your channel. I watched many but for some reason this one hit me bad. I can not believe this here in the UNITED STATES. B4 he got locked up he would show me and I thought this was in another country. I AM in recovery worked with many alcoholic addicts yet I have not experienced or seen any body like this in real life till this last summer a few and there were on the streets. I even got scared cause I thought some thing was wrong with them or they would fall and hurt themselves. I Pray for the people. We have no right to judge any body or talk them down you never know when this type situation can hit home or some one you love. My g-son said maybe when he gets out that he could possibly work with the young ones doing some thing like Frank does he says to me. I pray for him to change he has a good heart and I believe god has a plan for him and what you do I’m sure you are in the minds of other like my g-son to help other’s and for other’s to see the reality and try to understand and comprehend the reality of this type of life. Thank you God bless you keep you safe and your family. Milwaukee Wisconsin
Thank you 🙏
She says, "maybe God did that so he couldn't run and hurt himself."
That sounds right on. Such awesome work, Frank. It's a bottomless problem, isn't it. Good bless you both 🙏💯
God stuff so weird. He musta been on a break when he taking the drugs.
A true hero! Thanks Frank for your relentless pursuit in providing your time and service to these lost souls. ❤️
I worked in the center of Boston and had never seen a person who had taken these drugs. A woman walked passed me, dropped her purse, and kept walking. She then bent over with her arms dangling and didn’t move. I had absolutely no idea what was wrong with her. I called 911 and said that someone just fell unconscious. The ambulance came. The EMTs saw what the issue was and laughed. I asked them “What’s so funny?” And told them to help her. They just didn’t care and said that they see it all the time and that if I’m working there I should get used to it. Say what?!?! They didn’t even check her out. They got back in the ambulance and drove off. I picked up her purse and guided her to a soft spot in the grass. I sat with her a couple of hours until she could get up and be steady in her feet.
This video breaks my heart. I’m here because a friend’s son is missing and she thinks he’s in Kensington. About a year ago my nephew went missing and he was found in Kensington.
I have no answers. But I know that we can do better. The fact is that every person in that community just walks by this tortured soul as if it’s normal. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! There is so much very wrong with this.
Thank you for your kindness and the creation of this video. I hope it will inspire someone to make some needed changes.
I learned that all the times i have said "i am having a bad day",i really wasnt...
Prayers for this man,i hope he one day can look back at this montage as a reminder of how bad he HAD it!
Frank….. you and Rachael are SO AMAZING to the people of Kensington. Truly you both are angels in a dark place !! You both have such huge hearts ♥️!!
So sad 😞
I don’t understand how the drug dealers selling the garbage that has this young man tormented like that, I don’t know how they’re able look at themselves in the mirror.
There doing the Devils work, destroying lives👿
Your heart is in the right place, Phily’s lucky to have you, keep doing wat ur doing bro, God Bless you & may he keep his angels around you to protect you😇
And through all of this. How are you doing Frank? Are you Okay? I can see the stress and concern in your face brother. Keeping you in my prayers at all times. Keep doing gods work bro.
They stretch Heroin with Fetanyl, the same thing people get in the USA for death sentence. it is doing this damage. In Hippie times so many took drugs, the Beatles even. This is murder. the Fetanyl is cheaper than Heroin so they stretch it to earn more money.
@@anjaoldnettle2841 tantamount to murder in itself so a one way ticket to hell is all they'll get with that money.
This life is a choice they made a long time before they got in this shape. In life we all make choices
Dude, thank you for actually caring and helping him. I was on the streets for a couple years and I love to see someone giving a damn 💜
So heartbreaking and he is handsome! I started to cry when I heard Rachel say maybe it is happening cause God wants it to happen so he won’t run. Thank you for being an angel on earth Frank.
Me da mucha tristeza ver a esta persona en este estado tan deprimente,ya que no parece ser un hijo de la calle,ojalá hubiesen más personas como usted, para ayudar un poco más 😔
This breaks my heart. I’m grateful you helped him and share the realities of trauma and addictions. He will be in my prayers and I hope he finds peace and healing. It reminds me of where I once once. I’m 13.5 years clean and sober and I will always continue to advocate for and help anyone I can. You are a beautiful soul ❤️
I work for an organization that provides support for homeless veterans and I see what heroin and morphine abuse does to these veterans on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what life must be like for these poor people who call Kensington home. You have a brilliant channel here. Keep up the good work. One of these days the worm will turn!
I see your kindness and you caring for the vulnerable Frank. I know your mother is so proud of you for who you have become. if this was my child my heart would crumble to the floor. My brother is known as the gentle giant that can stand up for himself as well. Frank you are now the second gentle Giant in my life. We need more gentle Giants in this world. The care that shows in your eyes for other people who are not able to take care of themselves is a wonderful thing. Jesus please help all of us who are vulnerable weak and in pain, whether it's physical or mental. I believe some people out here have chronic pain and their doctors didn't care enough about them so they're stuck doing whatever they can to numb their physical pain. Some made wrong choices because of emotional pain and now they have both emotional and physical pain. I hope this handsome man gets the help he needs. This world is a horrible place to be, especially if you're alone. God bless us all 🙏❤
What a beautiful kind man Frank is, but so are you. God bless you all 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Same here
Frank can I ask you when did this video take place? This is a good friend of mine over a decade. This is so heartbreaking. This brought tears to my eyes. I am so worried about him. This is not the only video of him like this. So it seems to me he has been stuck like this for days. I think he truly needs medical attention. The crazy thing is he was clean and just relapsed so I'm thinking that because of this is why he is getting the reaction he got. I do not want him to die down there. Can you please tell me when did this take place. I would like to see if I can find him so I can possibly get him out of there and to get some help. He needs the help I never seen him like this before. It literally looks like he is stuck in a trip amd has been in this trip for few days now. Please respond to me.
💜🙏🏼🙌🏼🧎🏼♀️👐🧘🏼♀️🙏🏼😇😇😇👣👣👣💜💕💞
Check the description and message him on Instagram
Hope you can find your friend and he gets better you are truly amazing friend
Amy did you see the comment above from Scott, the guys brother? You could maybe get together & give eachother strength to intervene & it shows strength in togetherness to your friend.
Kensington area
I live in Trenton NJ and i have been clean from heroin for over 6 years now... I gave all mind altering drugs and alcohol up as of jan 23rd 2016...

I watched this the day Frank did it an I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I have told lots of people mostly clinicians in methadone programs to watch this on TH-cam morals of the money, bad day in Kensington for learning purposes. I got phone calls back within hours of how much this can help other patience. To the man that is in this video ( Brother I love you an you are loved by many many people whether you know it or not.I wish you nothing but happiness,love an caring in your life.) I had used for about 11 years and it was ugly for the last 3.The very first time I was handed a bag of Fentanyl was the last day of using!!! Why some of you might ask? I knew in my heart that I would die because of that shit.That was 2015. I hope anyone who is on Heroin or Fentanyl that they find the will to stop using before they pass away from this awful shit. Take care all, Kevin
💜💜💜Good to see you trying to help this man. One of my brothers died under a bridge in CA and the other is a homeless drug addict in Phoenix. I would like to think someone would show them kindness once in a while.
I'm so happy for you helping this guy there needs to be more people like you amen
Thank goodness there's people like you and team to help these people and explain what they're going through very sad so true never judge never and respect others .
Some much respect to you guys here at Morals over money! Just getting these stories out in the public is huge, yet you go so far beyond that to help these people. I wish you guys the best in your future endeavors with channel & any other harm reduction work you may do!
My heart hurts watching this poor guy and people walking past, totally ignoring him, not even a look of compassion on their faces, Thank you Frank for caring.
On a completely different not, I am requesting prayers for my friend Jean's 18yr old son, who has just been diagnosed with a massive brain tumour. We don't yet know if it is operable or treatable and his devastated momma is not allowed to be with him in the hospital because of covid restrictions. I would be eternally grateful for prayers from anyone who prays. Thank you so much.
Please Jesus watch over jeans eighteen-year-old son during this difficult time. Please Jesus heal this young man and make him better. Please Jesus watch over Jean during this difficult time. I pray for healing, a miracle of some sort. In Jesus's name amen 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Prayers sent 🙏

@@trayjosass Thank you Tracey, he has just undergone his 4th surgery 2 days ago to remove as much tumor as possible. Unfortunately, it is wrapped around his brain stem and cannot be fully removed surgically. He will have to have Chemotherapy and Radium treatment which will have many adverse effects on his body, so continued prayers are greatly appreciated.
Автор очень добрый, солнечный человек. Невероятная теплота идет от вас, даже через экран телефона . Желаю вам здоровья и человеческого счастья. А этого парня жаль конечно, не пихал бы себе в рот всякую гадость, не валялся бы на асфальте, просто полное безумие.
I'm so thankful for people like you Frank. Truly a blessing. And luckily there wasn't any other people out there. Someone would have tried to beat him up just for having his pants down. Not knowing that he couldn't get them up without help.
God bless you Frank. I'm a mother of a 45 year old drug addicted son, living on the streets of Perth Western Australia. Did everything to try and help him. Naltrexone etc . You are an angel on earth and I can only hope my son meets someone that treats him with your level of respect and dignity. 💕
Frank I just want to say thank you to all that you do every day. For all that you make light of and not a way as to harm or be little those on the bottom. I also struggled with addiction for for multiple decades have my kids taken still wasn't enough it takes for people dying around you sometimes that isn't enough it was enough for me. I had had enough!!!! And I just want to say I hope God blesses you and everything you hold thee to you just for the things that you do everyday by helping people and making light of this other Pandemic we have called addiction!!! After watching this video it honestly makes me wanna go out and do the same thing you do I wish I had the means the means to help as much as you do. However walking down the road if I saw that man I'd probably asked him if I could have helped him the same way you did when I tried again the same way you did and I think by letting him know you understood his pain and that you've been there is what finally allowed in the allowed You to help him. I again just want to thank you for what you do everyday Do you have one great question now the state destiny was in is there not ambulances that would show up to pick people up that we're in this condition I mean just Hi I get it they don't bother buthey don't bother but in the condition that hes in I see it a lot in your videos honestly and it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of emergency intervention going on. Don't think people realize that this actually goes on in America where there is actually an open air market and that the cops do not give a fuck they can't be bothered. That's why I think it takes over so much it looks so bad. But he is in clear need of medical attention is medical attention before he hurts himself or gets hit by a car If there's any way you could kind of post an update if you end up getting one I know that's here today gone tomorrow you may never see this man ever again but but if you do end up trying to post an update greatly appreciated and again thank you king frank for everything you do everyday. Amor de rey!
Honestly Frank you are a real dude who cares about addict's like myself and I wanna say thank you

Hi Frank, Unfortunately, I'm seeing this video a year late. My name is Rob and I have a genetic catastrophic disease for there is no cure. With that being said, the things I see going on in the world today in a strange way makes me ok with my time being limited. But then I see this video and after I basically lose any faith I have ever had in humanity., there is you! You are an amazing person and seeing what you do makes me realize how special life really is and how we should all fight for it and help each other! You have my utmost respect and love brother.! Please be safe out there.
Praying for your complete healing, in Jesus mighty name, Amen Amen & Amen-!!!
✨️✝️✨️
Once again frank thank you for being you the world needs you angels come in many forms ❤
Sou brasileira e que triste ver essas cenas.. Um cara bonito, espero que ele encontre a cura e tenha um vida feliz. Na torcida aqui. 🙏🏾🤍
Quem é esse?
My goodness gracious, this has to be one of the most agonizing videos I’ve seen in a while!!! I don’t know what that man took, but it had to be a combo of drugs all in one. It’s bazaar because I was getting frustrated with him and so saddened for him at the same time just watching this video, in the comforts of my home, knowing that I’ve lived there at one time for quite a few years. It was nothing like it is now, and it was pretty bad, but not this bad. Thank you Frank for sharing your videos because anyone who is thinking about taking a ride to this “Walmart “ open aired drug market, will think twice. God bless you and your family always! Keep up the good work Frank!!
Frank you are an angel to these people. We need people like you activist on the street not afraid to help.
Frank you are decent bloke kindness costs nothing. Best wishes for 2022. Mark
You are an example of what a man is . Keep it up 🙏
Amen × 3 ✨️🕊✨️!!!
You're such a good man and you have an amazing woman by your side 💪🏾 I love how Rachel supports you in everything you do!!! Y'all are an amazing TEAM!!!!!! Don't ever change 🙏
Bless u both,u have an angels wisdom😇 Rachel..'maybe God wants him not be running round' making his pants that way.xo
Thank you for all the positive things you do
Yesssss Rachel, I agree with you! "Maybe God is doing that for a reason and best he can't run" 🙏💚💙🙏
Your videos are deeply moving and inspirational. I hope you know that these videos definitely make a difference.
People just drive by like it's no big deal. It's sad that this is the new norm
We are totally numb as a society.
In China you get arrested fir helping someone, even to save their life on the spot so people do not do it! That is another planet there!.
I can not understand how people can Drive by without even triing to help this guy-I´m PROUD of you Brother .DONT EVER GIVE UP::People need you out there..i feel so bad and angry inside
Frank your a caring person I want to say thank you for helping the people that needs help thanks Frank your 1 hell of a man
You are a very beautiful man…. Inside and out. You show this in every video… in all that you do. Thank you for being so compassionate and showing such empathy. xx
Thank you for helping this young man. All the people passing by because this is the norm for them. It's sad. He looked cold. It really looked like he got ahold of flakka or wet. I hope he finds help. #wedorecover
Absolute sadness. I went through many rough times years ago never did I have to worry about what these people worry about today. I’m just speechless and you my friend are an absolute saint.
Frank, I'm a recovering addict (8 years now) and I REALLLY want to get into helping people or even working in a treatment center. My line of work right now is just not for me and it's killing me mentally. I KNOW that helping fellow addicts is my calling. If you can refer me to any type of ways to get into this, please reply. I live in Cambria County PA...
Recovered addict too....stay away it can pull ....back in to .....
Damn bro this shit hits home cuz my Uncle was out in kenzo a while back b4 he moved up to warren. Its sad. People are so quick to judge addicts and assume that they chose to do h when its not the case whatsoever. Most of these people started due to painkillers or trauma. These people arent addicted by choice. They just fell in too deep and need help getting back up. Thank you for bringing attention to this shit man. God bless you brother.
Hey Frank you a true Saint.I cannot believe this is happening.Keep doing what you do Love from uk🇬🇧
God bless you frank may God help u on ur journey
King Frank this was well done , so crazy .......tomorrow is not promised
Frank you are one amazing man. You have such wisdom and a great soul. Your videos should be shown to the world . The city does nothing nor is it ever mentioned. It is sad that this mayor just ignores it. They should put this video on the Philly news or make you mayor.
You’re doing incredible things and putting your mental and physical at risk to do the right thing, I appreciate you so much for that.
Frank, you’re doing the Lord’s work here and it’s important that the world must know of this. Be careful out there …
Frank you and Rachel are angels sent by God to do his work. The fact that you look forward when so many look away is definitely God working through you. You both had to fight the demons so you now know what to look for. That so many wonderful people are fighting and losing their battles makes my heart ache. I’m so thankful for the two of you and your compassion. ❤
Qué buen trabajo haces hermano y les deseo lo mejor a cada una de estas personas ❤👍🏻🙏
Amazing job Man, this video just came across randomly.. I’ve liked and subscribed
Your compassion is the best thing I’ve encountered all week. And I have a loving family a home, but I needed to see this🙏🏽❤️
I’ve been home for over a year, waiting on a hip replacement(🤬🤬Rona related slow downs for surgery).
I’m super careful with my pain meds ( only 1 out of the 4 I’m daily prescribed today and it’s 6 pm) but that not because I’m special, I’ve worked with addicts for 20yrs so I just move with an abundance of caution.
Being off work for over has been hard I love the work I do.
Love kids n husband but it’s not the same. I believe you can understand that , they way you cared at that man… the humanity you showed it’s the saddest most rewarding thing I’ve ever experienced. Stay safe and Blessed 🙏🏽❤️❤️
thank u for your words good job with being cautious and hopefully all goes well
@@MORALSOVERMONEY1 Frank I’m definitely going be one of regulars.
Your content is so REAL, heartbreaking, inspirational, compassionate….
I’ve been clean since ‘99
And was never on opioids, I can’t fathom the depths of that kind of addiction from a personal level.
God Bless everyone struggling 🙏🏽
Good luck to you and your growing family🙏🏽❤️
Hi Frank! As I scour youtube and Fig St in LA, I realize that what you are doing serves multiple purposes. People who make films like this are actually helping us find missing people, and we thank you so very much. Also, I am old - what drug does this to people? It's not like the 60s or like anything else I've seen.
Fentanyl is a highly addictive drug that is deadly in minute amounts. China supplies a LOT of Fentanyl to Mexico. Then, it is laced into Cocain, heroin, and even weed. Even scarier is the fake prescription drugs. Fentanyl powder is pressed into looking like oxycodone, morphine, & other opiates. They coat it with aspirin sometimes to make it look authentic. There is enough Fentanyl now on the U.S. side of the border to kill every American 5 times over. One Pill can kill. In 2022, almost 9 times as many people died of Fentanyl overdose than died of Covid. Most of them between the ages of 15-35, and it was just a young person, expiramenting with 1 pill they "thought" was something else. THIS epidemic should be a National emergency & on every news channel with a death toll ticker to raise awareness, but it is not. I hope this helps. 👍
@@stormy439 No, it really isn't. If that were true they would not have treated me in hospital with fentanyl and morphine and vicadin. Fentanyl is about equivalent with morphine, not stronger than that. As k people who have actually been prescribed the dug.
@@readdeeply9278 👍
That's really sad. I live in south jersey and didn't realize it was that bad till your channel. Salem county is bad that's why we moved away but this is a whole new reality. Praying for all going through this 🙏🙏🙏. I wish there was more help out there. Sad I wish more people would want to get help. I hope people see this and see what can happen.
Man, this is an amazing image of the Gospel and God's desire to engage with and help us. Much of us refuse the same way as this young man. God bless you frank.
I'm from Chicago and I've been following you for a while, your videos help my society. Thank you Frank!
Thank you for not judging. My scholar athlete only daughter who had the best of everything died from a fentanyl overdose. Drugs do not discriminate. I want to do something more than tell my daughter's story.
So sorry Debbie for your loss,may she rest in peace
My deepest condolences
So sorry for your loss sending love and prayers for you from oklahoma
Your videos makes me feel really happy about my self now because I have 9 years clean and I just can see I'm not missing nothing good, so bro thinks and I hope God make a better way for all. God bless you.
I learn from your videos that these are people just like us and deserve to be treated with respect no matter what shape they’re in.
They didn’t start out by saying let me get to the point that they are now it’s just something the drug did to them
In the year 2022,a good friend of mine, nephew who s birthday was August 14,2022..was given a gift of drugs to him on his birthday by his own mother, instead of celebrating his birthday on his special day, they were celebrating his life, his name was/ is Drake Duve of Wyandotte mi 😢
